Real Wedding: Julia & Ben

































































We were excited to create these colorful centerpieces for a recent spring wedding at the Puck Building. The bride didn't want each centerpiece to look alike, so to mix it up we used two styles of mercury glass vases and we created a few different flower arrangement recipes (we write recipes, just like a cook would, to help us keep track of what and how many flowers to use-- i.e. 3 peony, 5 roses, 5 ranunculus, etc. per arrangement). In some of the arrangements we used juliet garden roses as the focal point, and in others we used coral peonies. To fill out the arrangements we used parrot tulips, wild sweet pea, roses, scaboisa, ranunculus, poppies and tangerines.

Congratulations Ben and Julia!

How sweet it is.



















































Most days I feel extremely lucky to be working with flowers, especially when the occasion calls for Japanese sweet pea.

Spring Bridal Bouquets.









With the Spring wedding season in full swing, we have had the privilege of working with the most beautiful flowers this past month! Here is a sampling of some of my favorite bouquets, created for our April weddings.

All of the bridal "must have" flowers can be found here; peony, heirloom roses, ranunculus, and tulips with fun accents like fuschia orchids, anemone and jasmine vines. The peony have been especially memorable so far and we are excited that this wedding favorite is only just beginning it's season.
